Insights from International Students

From our Students

Shunsuke Kanazawa, Japan - Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences:

"What I like best about being an international student at Lesley is that our differences are listened to and respected by fellow American and international students. Every unique aspect of your experience as an international student is highly valued at Lesley."

Chu-Chun Chen, Taiwan - Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences:

"The more I evolve in the Lesley community, the more I love it! As an international student, I was excited but also scared when I first came to the country. Fortunately, I was fully accepted, supported and encouraged by the staff and my fellow students at Lesley University. I will carry all of these learning experiences, cross-cultural friendships and valuable memories with me after I graduate"

Kwadwo Poku, Ghana - Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences:

"It's hard work adjusting to a new culture and a new school, but at Lesley you don't do it alone. Support from the International Students Office and the greater Lesley University community makes your transition a smooth one. You will have the opportunity to build relationships and networks that stretch across nations."

Khitam Edelbi, Palestine - Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences:

"I appreciate the support and the understanding we get from the International Student Services office."

Mark Montgomery, United Kingdom - College of Liberal Arts and Sciences:

"The best thing about being an international student at Lesley is the way I have been welcomed into the Lesley community which has helped to make my assimilation into the Lesley and U.S. culture a lot easier."

Umman Tyebjee, India - College of Art and Design:

"[The College of Art and Design] is a great place to be because of the diversity of students and their majors. Also, the location in both Cambridge and Boston gives students a chance to explore the richness of different cultures and the arts of the city."
